C lone mt Vvtrly'" Properdins:. After the close or ur report jeste'i tiny tr the pro !d"ssln Uie Brooks case, in the Court of quarter unions, before Judge Ludlow, the ease was re amed at half-past two oviock, and continued until the adjournment at seven o'clock in the evening. The developments were of an uuexrifcted char acter ami most interesting, asminilujr jtliapos quite novel in the history of criminal trials lu this city. Thomas HuRhes, a young cooper, proven that on the iay of the attack upon Mr. Brooks he saw Nell WcLauirliltn with his carriupe in Front. Bireet, near hcenan's store, aiout VI o'clock,, and talked with bin), nndalso saw Mara and llnjihes on the oppo site side of the street; subset-m-nlly, about 1 o'clock, lie saw the same parties lu the nciK'tiborhood of N-Tcnth and CliristtHn streets, Dougherty then licln lUlerently dress?!. Several younj; men, dolnfc busi ness In Front street, also saw McLaughlin aud his cairiac there on that day. MeLauttlilin, a young man about twenty years old, was lu custody of Police Meuteuant Killacky, conllncd in one of the ante iimnmAf the court where he could not hear the testi mony of the other witnesses or be approached by nut side parties, and being called to tlie witness-stand appeared under the guard of the lieutenant. It was known that he was the haekdrlveron tills murderous frpem. and it was believed that lie nan, in ponce tied " npon the prisoners, ana tneroiorc nis testimony wouiu cwhiuiihii mt-ir !vorn to tell the truth, he answered yncj s -questions in a irigmcneu, t, nis voice treuimina. ana nut avtrur fear. To the astonishment , be InoKvd mion'tlio prisoners aud said were r not the tnvn who were in his chaise on vrnnt. street to ttv.- imi k : the rent men, he said. beilrw tfitvntkMB to him, calluig themselves Jones and Stratton, and bring much larger tuna than the prisoners. The first time he had ever seen the prisoners was tlie Friday before their arrest in Xew York : they were all stopping at .lohiiny Mur ray's in Amity street, below Broad, iva.y ; he had never seen them at Coney Island; he said he had made a diilerent st atement to the Mayor, but he was then frightened and spoke falsely. Ity leave of the Court Mr. Dwlght put this fellow through a sharp and rigid cross-examination, but, though he contra dicted himself in some particulars, he stuck uoso Intely to the assertion that the prisoners were not the men who had engaged hlB cnri iuge on the day Mr. Brooks was shot. To prove tin: falsity of this testimony, the Common weultli called Mayor Fox, who proved that the witness, McLaughlin, had made two written statements under oath, saying positively that Mara aud Dougherty were the men whom he drove in his carriage on the utli of September, and that they had engaged him to drive them along Front street for six successive days before the attempted assas sination ; that he had met, them tit Coney Island and conversed with them, and they were nil arrested to gether. Messrs. Cassidy ami Mann, for the prisoners, strove strenuously to rule this testimony out, but they were met by Mr. Dwigltt's cool and clear an swers, aud by Judge Ludlow's ready decisions, sup ported by incontestable authorities, which he had bv him, and cited npon every point. And it was really amusing to see their discomfiture on some occa sions, when they overstepped their mark, and brought out facts that would have done their case more good had they been kept undisclosed. As an instance, may be mentioned, their cross-examination -of the witness Hughes, by which they made it appear that he hud tteeii boarding at Wood bury, New Jersev, fur several weeks, at the expense, perhaps, of the Commonwealth, and under the im mediate care of our detectives, tvliiertof course was considered a good joke in the shupe of bought testi mony. But the smile was on the other side when the witness explained that as soon in bis knowledge of the case became known to the friends of the prisoners, he was arrested upon a warrant from Alderman Uevllt, and being handed over to the :ner cies of Bob Lvster Hmlth, an effort was made to spirit him away; and while ho was being forced to cl'ftnge bis clothing he gave his captors the slip, and Immediately going to Detective rryou. told his story, and placed 'himself under the protection of the Com n.onwealth. A fnii and detailed accouut or the proceedings after the close or our report will be found on our lusidepage. , Tli l iHornina'a Proceeding.. This morning a squad or policemen was la attend ance lu the lower hull of the court, but were no stationed as pickets at each turn of the staircase a4 en yesterday, the witness MuLuughlin, against whom violence was feared, having been disposed of yesterdayand tert below to-uay. At 10 o'clock the Court met, and the Common wealth's caae was resumed. - . Before proceeding, however, Mr. Cassidy gave notice that he and his associates desired to have pos session of both the written statements that the wit ness McLanghlla had given the Mavor aud of which the Mayor tesi died, and offered to produce authori ties In support of the demand. Jedgo Ludlow said he thought tbo defense were entitled to examine the statement- that was written by the Mayor hiiuael(a,iiud from reference to which be had refreshed InS memory while testifying, but that the demand for the second one was another matter. District Attorney Gibbon said ho would mako no question about this matter, and wus w illiug that the gentlemen representing the defense should have them. Mayor Fox recalled and cross-examined by the defense The first statement 1 spoke of was made, It seems to me, on the fourth day of the present month, at the Mayor's olllce, lu the morning; Onioor tsrott, and part of the time oilleer Wilkinson, of the New York force, were present; Mcl.anghlln was in custody at that time upon a warrant Issued by me to answer the charge of complicity in the attempted assassination of Mr. Brooks; 1 do not recollect upon whose oath the warrant was issued. What became of the case? Objected to and overruled. O.. Was he discharged, admitted to bail, or what became of himv A. After I ud the interview with him, he had a hearing before Alderman Kerr, which I did not hear, but which was reported l me ; at the time of the statement, he was under urrest, iu the custody of the Philadelphia authorities ; lie w.us still under arrest when the second statement was read to him and sworn to by him: I communicated Loth state ments to the District Attorney; lin said Brooks pointed a pistol at him, and he started, frigldeued, .tint knowing at the time what had been done; I do not know whether McLaughlin is still under arrest ; Lieutenant Killacky Is obeying my instructions, but It is my lmpressiun that there was ail order of the Court In relation to the case or McLaughlin, but I have not seen that order; he was kept part or tho time at the Sixth Ward Siatiou House and part or the time at the Central Slat ion; I do not know where else; he may have been taken to prison; I offered a reward lor the arrest 1 ttise prisoners. o. How much was that reward? Mr. Dwlght 1 object to the question because it ia not in cross-examination. Mr. ManuI think 1 am entitled to show the bias of the witness, and to show if 1 can that the motive i the witnesses lu this case is gain.

Mr. Uibboiut We have no further testimony to offer at present for the Commonwealth, uud close, asking; the right of examining Officer Kelly, who is a most important witness, should he come in before the conclusion of the trial. This was opposed by Mr. Mann. Judge Ludlow said he would follow the precedent set In Muguire's case, and suspend the trial mini the authorities of the city and of tho Vnitcd states luivo made most thorough search for this man, and pro duce him if possible. Mr. Cassidy You will allow me to call your atten tion to the rule iu Mugulrc'4 ease, an I was counsel In it. Then the witnesses hud been subpa-micd, and owing to the glaring outrage upon the Court, by taking the witnesses from it, but here a sulipieua had been taken out but not sewed, and certainly you cannot delay this cause because or the neglect of the Commonwealth. If the defendants have any rights here, they should be allowed to hear the whole or the Commonwealth's case, and then present their defense entire, without Interruption by the examination of witnesses for the prosecution. Judge Ludlow Now, lien yon speak of the rights of the defendants, I remind vou'thut yesterday yon HSkedawhole day for preparation after the close of the Commonwealth's euse. uud now 1 give it to you. Mr. Cassidy But the Commonwealth's case has not been closed. Judge Ludlow In the llrst place, the order of tho Mayor to one of his officers to attend here lakes tho place of a subpienu, and the assertion of the District Attorney that this oillcor a testimony is of import ance is sunicieut to warraut me in my course; I will Invite the efforts ol the I Hited States authorities, aud the Hate officers, Including tho police or the city, to endeavor to Cud this man, and until a reason able effort has been made this trial must mop. Mr. cibbous I have every reason to uolieve this Officer has been spirited away. Judge Ludlow I'ntil 1 am satisded that this man cannot be round, I will exhaust my power lu the search. The assertion or the District Attorney Baiitdle me. II he should happen to be In Camden 1 willreiiuesttheuoveruorol iow Jersey to deliver Uuu to uie.

New York, amongst Its major sensa'tons, is now engaged more- particularly In discussing, specu lating and smiling upon that In w hich Baron de Ri vlcre and llolcno C. SUlle are the principals. Y es terday was a day of unusual developments in this suit, of which the New York tiua this morning speaks to this effect: The suit against the Baron Henri Anion de Ri viere by Hcleno C. Stllle, to recover monev alleged to have been fraudulently obtained from lier, was before Judge Janes yesterday, on a second motion to vacate the order of an-est against the Karon, the Hi Bt motion, made some days ago, having been with drawn. Mrs. Slille, It maybe recollected, claims that the Karon, representing himself to he unmar ried, promised to wed her, seduced, aud obtained TM)0 irom her. alter having cohabited with her in l'nris, site giving I mill lu a child of which he was the father. Yesterday, In addition to the affidavits already published, a long deposition by the Baron was read by his counsel, iu which he says that he arrived la this ity lu September of last year with his wife, two children, two men servants, and three maid ser vants. Leaving ids family here, ho went to Chill In October, returning last January and going to Paris in F' bnniry. remaining there w ith his family until tiled th of lust September. He brought his family Lack here at that tune, and has since maided at the New York Hotel, with his family aud his men ser vants and his imild servants. Mrs. Stllle wrote him several times at the Claren don Hotel In Fcbiuary last, wanting money, and threatening to blackmail him. These letters he always returned unanswered. Last September she wanted jruO to pay doctors' bills, and he In reply said he would have her handed to the police if she wrote him again. -t The Baron repeats the story of his travels In Spain In lsttf, already published ; and adds that, he has had an office in Paris since lsci us Government contractor for artillery and ships or war; hud made large con tracts, some or which lie enumerates, amounting to nn aggregate of 12,ooo,0oo francs, making 1,100.001) . francs profit. In sales of guns to the Danish, Prus sian, Bru.illan, and Grecian Uovernmeiiisy and the Diiiiubian Principalities, he made further profits of ikh, 000 lrnncs, so that lu 1805 his personal fortune was at least $:i00,o,io in gold. Further contracts in chill and other South American States lu 1806 brought him 1100,000, gold. He had an immense guano speculation, and owns large copper mines In Bolivia. Hlvierc says that tho title of baron is hereditary in his family; that his father Is Counsellor-tieiieral 01 the Department of the Loire, France, and Is worth 2,000,000 francs; that lie (the Karon) intends to be come a permanent resident of this city, and has not received any property from his wife, Miss Blount, or nny of her family ; on the contrary, he has given her all the property she now owns. Catharine Demond, nurse to Ifelenc Stllle In Ki;, made affidavit that In Saratoga that year the latter represented Ocorge W. Beers to be her husband, and that she was cohabiilng with him; Beers after wards said she wus not his wife, and applied to her very damaging epithets, and that Mrs. Stllle after wards lived iu a house of Ill-repute in Thirty-third street, and went to various assignation houses. Lavinia L. Wise testlUed-that Mrs. stllle lived with (leoige D. Bacon in l55, and afterwards with Robert Livingston, with whom she went, to Kurope where fihe became acquainted with the Duke de Morny, and suliscuncnUy represented herself as the Duxe s wue. The rollowlns letters, alleged to have been written to Madame Stllle by tho Baron, while travelling In South America, were presented on tne pat 01 tue planum: Valparaiso, the 10th of September.

CUBA. The Author of tho Hantlngo Assassination. A correspondent, writing from Santiago de Cuba on the 4th lust., remarks: There Is now no doubt that the gentlemen who were ho foully murdered 011 the Jlguanl road by the Spanish officers and escort were denounced by one Pedro Cassauovo, and tiortensio Tamayo. Cassa nova was a captain ol banditti, lodged In a place called Venta tie Contramaestrie, and in the year isr.7 he was captured, tried, and Imprisoned, but through the Inilueuce or the gold of his fulher-in-law ho was released by the Spaniards andagaU let loose upon the pnbllc. Tamayo, unfortunately, is a native Cuban; but he has lived rourteen years iu Spain, at which place he had not a very high reputation. Know ing the character or Tamayo, the Provisional (ovcrnuieut sent him to Cuba to till the post of Judge lnone or the jurisdictions, and after his arri val he was chosen by the then Captaln-Oeneral, Dulco, to proceed to the insurgent camp, under a Hag of truce, to negotiate with the Cuban leaders. But the latter refused to receive Biich an envoy, and the residents of Santiago themselves expressed dis approbation that such a character had been chosen for bo important and hoinnbie, u position. Yet It was on the statements of two such persons that twenty-one Cubans wero put to death by the Span iards, and at tho very moulcut when they were assured of safety, .Military Alovvmeiita In the Eastern Depart tent.

After the vote of yes terday in the Legislative Joint Convention, Johnson stands a pretty fair show oi' being elected to-day as Senator, although his ultimate defeat is still tjuite within tho bounds oi vossi Lility. His more sanguine friends triumphantly assert he will be elected on the first ballot, but this is exceedingly doubtful. Tho opposition were caucusing last niht, aud probably decided upon some man to concentrate on to-day. The trouble is that they embrace too many conliicting elements to present a bold front, and this, in connection with the fact that they cannot bilug out a strong man with a national reputation and the prestige of toweriug ability atuchiti); to his name, Is very likely to bring about their de feat in the end.

The Judicial Election. Tlie election yesterday resulted In the choice of Robert F. Morrison (Deni.) for Judge of the Fourth District Court; McKinstry (Independent and Republican candidate) for Judge of the Twelfth District; and W. D. Sawyer (Dem.) for Judge of San Francisco. The majority of the Supreme Judges are: For Crockett, Democrat; supported also by the Inde pendents, 3181, and for Wallace, Democrat, 697. The vote was unusnnlly light, only 13,500 being cast.

Primitive Appliances How Our Fore fathers Quenched Their Thirst Wells and Pumps Give Place to Wooden Engines and Pipes, and They in Turn to AU' the Modern Im- provements. Philiulclbuinns have always been proud of the ni nmfrcmente made to furnish a copious ftipply of water to all in tho limits of this city, and the Fainnonnt Works have Rcncrally been the first of our sights shown to country cousins. In early times we had good reason to boast of our pre-eminence over other cities In the quality and quantity furnished; and ol thongh many good bodies may have felt pome misgivings at the stinted allowance doled out in the memorable drought of this summer, yet there is no reaso to fear a loss of the hopiable reputation of the (juakcr City. AU hutuau contrivauces some times "pen out," an "Honest Old Abe" n)d to t-oy. Chicago may have a "tray anchor knock a ' hole in her Lake tunnel; and . the fnmoiis Croton Aqueduct has to dry up when tho head waters fall. In old times, William 1'cnu, charmed with its natural beauties, wrote, "My eye, though not my heart, is npon Fair mount:" and this appears to have been the motto thsit has induced tho tinkering awiy at the old machinery for so many years. -Until 1 very recently tlie plan of late officials seems to have been to make temporary arrangements to 1 run the old woodcu wheels from year to year, while longing eyes have keen cast towards the project of a huge aqueduct to carry the waters of a'littlc stream a good many miles ' to town. Late scientific investigations have satisfactorily shown that tho Schuylkill will fur nibh a plenteous supply for generations to come; . and with this comfortable assurance a retrospec tive glnnce at thj growth of the Water Works to (heir present immense proportions cannot but prove interesting. For many of the statistics presented we are indebted to the conrtcsy of the present efficient Chief Engineer, Mr. Frederic Craft. . Vclltt and Pumps, Springs and brooks were tho first sources for supplying water to tlie early settlers Of Phila delphia. Watson, in his "Annals," relates that tlie conveniences of pumps were rarely seen for many years in the primitive city, and that even the wells for the u-e of families were generally public and in tho streets. m These wells lying open in the highways, and" presenting danger ous traps to unwary strollers, were occa sionally presented as nuisances 'by the grand ' juries, the oldest record being "Two old and very deep wells lyiug open at Centre Square," inlTJJO. t- The Gazette, iu ViXi, urged that "some pnblic wells arc wanting;" and the Union Fire Com pany appear to have kept a watchful eye over them, us in K44 they advertised a reward of X'5 "for apprehending the persons who stole the nozzles Irom High street and other streets." Kalm, who passed through tho city in 1748, states there was a well to every house, and several in the streets, all giving good and clear water. The folks of those bygone days, with all their reputation for stuidness and decorum, ap pear to have been as great epicures in their modest style as their more extravagant great grandchildren in the nixth generation. 8ome of the pumps were noted for the quality of their water, aud the old woodcu handles were kept a-going famously. The water In the yard of a bouse in Norris' alley had the questionable ad vantage of being deemed the best in the eity, and one pump in Walnut street was celebrated among housewives for its peculiar adapta bility to boiling greens. , .i : ; Although good water was obtained by digging but a few feet below the surface in almost any part of the city, yet it-was soon difficult to multiply them surUcicntly to supply the de mands of the increasing population, and finally even these, in many cases, became unsuitable for use by the contamination of cesspools. Jhis'iucreiisiug impurity of the water naturally excited the public mind, and the public prints of that day agitated the necessity of a reform. ' ' - ' The ravages of the yellow fever in 1703-94 especially awoke the attention of the community to the imperative need that a more copious sup ply of water should be obtained to insure the health, comfort, and preservation of the com munity. Long before this Benjamin Franklin had advocated a recourse to some outside source of supply, and in his will, dated June 23, 1789, is the followiug clause: "And having considered that the covering of the ground plot of the eity with bnildings and pavements, which carry oft most of the rain, and prevent its soaking into the earth, and re newing and purifying the springs, whence the water of the wells inurt gradually grow worse, and in time be unlit for u&c, as I find has hap pened in all old cities, I recommend that at the end of the first hundred years, if not done before, the corporation employ a part of the hundred thousand pounds in bringing by pipes the water of tho Wissahickon Creek into the town, so as to supply the inhabitants, which I apprehend may be done without great difficulty, the level of that creek being much above that of tho city, and may bo made higher by a dam; 1 also recommend, making tho Schuylkill com pletely navigable.". Au Odd Plan, The second ravages of the yellow fever i 1797 awoke Councils into an. active considera tion of the means of obtaining a permanent anp ply of pure water, and that year tho first peti tion on the subject wut presented. yr0U8 projects were considered, the oddest of aU being ha broached in UM? by the Delaware uud H. hi.ylkt 1 Canal Company .now known a. the Union Canal), which was allowed by its charter to supply such citizens with water might be disposed to purchase and use it Theysaidi "It 'is proposed to conduct the water of the canal iuto a grand reservoir, situated in Broad street a little to tho northward of Callowhlli, from which a en mil was to be cut along Broad street the whole width of the" city, and be bridged over at tlie crossings of each street. This canal, it was calculated, would discharge about half a million of cubic feet of wuter into the different streets . in one
